Don't be fooled by the fact that a company provides a Certificate of Authenticity with an item. The proof lies in the credentials of the authenticator.
Charities should be very aware that there are several companies that provide autographed items which are wholeheartedly couterfeit that prey on charities.
The mere fact that they tell you they were 3rd Party authenticated only means they have someone else saying they are real.
In the Sports autograph industry, the standard in regard to autograph authentication are 2 companies - JSA or PSA / DNA.
Furthermore if you are considering procuring items from a company and want to protect yourself and your charity, not only ask who the authenticator is but also ask if they have a photo of the person signing the item which they are providing.
PROTECT YOURSELF and DON'T BE FOOLED!
